Former Afghan Ambassador Omar Samad joins WiseNuts for one of our most important conversations yet.

From Afghanistan’s forgotten era of democracy and prosperity to the rise of the Taliban, the Soviet invasion, 9/11, America’s longest war, and the chaotic U.S. withdrawal, Omar breaks down the history behind one of the world’s most misunderstood countries.
